Hi. Would like to obtain the names of the parents of Jerome Rowley and Maria Wilkins who obtained a marriage license in 1838. My ancestors are from the Rowley family in Knox Co. Berniece -------------- Original message from AEA : -------------- > The earliest marriage on record in Knox County is that of William Sapp > and Eleander Waide, who were married on June 28, 1808, by Abm. Darling. > It was recorded Sept. 9, 1809, by James Smith, clerk. The entry in the > little book, which is in a fair state of preservation, reads as follows: > > "Acting as a justice of the peace do hereby certify that on > advertisement agreeable to law I have joined together in matrimony > William Sapp and Eleander Wade, both of this county. -- Abm. Darling" > > In 1808 six marriages were recorded. In 1835 there were 218 marriages, > in 1836, 239, in 1837, 254, and in 1838, 226. Among the licenses > granted in 1838 was one to Jerome Rowley and Maria Wilkins, both of whom > are still living in this city, having on Feb. 22, 1902, celebrated the > sixty-fourth anniversary of their marriage. > > source: Bellville Messenger: 23 May 1902, Vol. X, No. 21 as reprinted > from the Mt.
